This Double Decker Grilled Cheese is perfect for when one sandwich just isn’t quite enough!
I know, listen to me – as if I’ve ever had a problem with stuffing two grilled cheese sandwiches down my neck 🤣. But, sometimes life just calls for an inbetweeny-sandwich. You know, more filling than a single sandwich but just a little more acceptable than two? Yeah I’m really winging this… Follow me 😛
Double Decker Grilled Cheese
The beauty of the double decker is that you get more filling than one sandwich, but less bread than two. You also get 3 layers of crispy bread too. I know looking at the pics it might be assumed the middle slice is soft, but it’s totally not.
You’re essentially just making a regular grilled cheese, but once you flip it you’ll add more filling on top, another slice of bread then flip it one more time. That’s 3 slices of bread, 2 layers of cheese and 2 flips.
What Cheese/Filling to use?
Here I’ve gone for bacon, cheddar and mozzarella, but you can really add anything you fancy. Check out all my Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for inspiration!

Serving a Double Decker Grilled Cheese
Depending on what you add in the sandwich, you can choose a Side if you fancy. Here I’ve gone with Tomato Soup, because bacon grilled cheese and tomato soup is just 🤤🤤
Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for this double decker grilled cheese shall we?!
